my 67 long bed has a custom manual th350 and a 12 bolt with 4.56 gears. The tires are 28x13.5x15 mickey thompson et streets. with the 355 in it, it would go 12.20s on the motor and 11.60's on N20. Im putting together the new 406 this week...it has dart 230/2.08-1.625 with 52cc chambers. It has 13-1 cr and a big solid roller. Im hoping for 11s on the motor and 10s with N20. My puter crashed, so I have no pics
